Itanagar: Alleging Congress attempt to forge and manipulate postal ballots, the BJP in Arunachal Pradesh today demanded the Election Commission to ensure that such postal ballot papers are rejected during counting of votes.

The party has also demanded proper surveillance and strict monitoring of all the strong rooms in the state.

"The Congress is making desperate attempt to forge and manipulate postal ballot votes in favour of its candidates and resorting to sabotage the counting process," the party alleged in a statement.

"It is shocking and surprising that a Congress worker, from Hapoli assembly constituency, who was subsequently arrested, in Lower Subansiri district had collected postal ballot papers by producing forged identity card and submitted in favour of the party candidate from the constituency" the party said.
